Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

When they heard this, Qin Ming and Qian Cai looked at each other.

Both of them were a little strange.

The situation is already so tense, yet the other party still sent a letter.

Whether it is seeking peace or going to war, this is not a good time.

If they were asking for peace, they should have sent the message before Qin Ming took action.

If a war breaks out, the troops in Western Shu have not yet been able to assemble.

Most of the resources in their hands are controlled by Qin Ming.

If we want to purchase more from other neighboring countries, it will take at least half a month.

Unless they withheld rations from the front-line troops.

But that would cause big problems in their planning and deployment on the battlefield in the Western Region.

It will be difficult to expand the territory again.

"Send it here so I can take a look."

Qin Ming did not refuse and directly asked his men to bring the letter to him.

After carefully reading the letter written by the other party, Qin Ming said to Qian Cai:

"The emperor of Western Shu is called Liu Mian? How come I have never heard of him?"

Because he often went out to fight, Qin Ming did not have much contact with the emperors of these kingdoms.

Most of it was handled by the Ministry of Rites, and involved some trade exchanges and exchanges of favors between them.

In his impression, the emperor of Western Shu should not be called this name, but at that time Qian Cai next to him explained to him:

"Your Majesty, the old emperor of Western Shu has passed away, and the country is in chaos now."

"Expand and tell me."

"I don't know much about the situation within their court. After all, we are all outsiders, but I have heard some rumors."

At this time, Qian Cai began to tell Qin Ming about the dispute between Liu Mian and Zhuge Yuheng after he came to power.

After hearing this, Qin Ming nodded slowly, then handed the letter in his hand to Qian Cai.

"Look at this."

Qian Cai took the letter in his hand and understood everything after a quick glance.

"That's true. Your Majesty...will you choose to help Liu Mian after knowing this?"

Qian Cai was a little hesitant.

In fact, Liu Mian is also a very good choice for them.

After all, he was willing to inherit the old emperor's tradition, continue to maintain good relations with surrounding countries, and resolutely not start a war.

In comparison, Zhuge Yuheng's eagle-eyed and wolf-like gaze made Qin Ming feel very threatened.

"I can help, but this battle must be fought."

Qin Ming spoke lightly.

Qian Cai asked curiously:

"Why?"

"It's simple. Even if Liu Mian expresses goodwill, it's useless. He doesn't have the final say."

"Kill all those who have the final say and then put him in charge."

Qin Ming had no intention of interfering in other people's family affairs.

Western Shu is hilly, with poor resources and difficult to cultivate.

Although over the years, the country has obtained a lot of resources needed for development through multilateral trade, its national strength has been growing.

But overall, it is still a piece of land with little value.

It is useless to conquer such a place. Instead, the imperial court will need to spend huge amounts of money to develop it.

Things are already busy enough in Daqian.

Qin Ming is not Buddha, and he doesn’t have that much kindness to help.

So naturally we don’t want them at this time.

Therefore, the entire Western Shu still needs someone who can keep the situation under control.

"Go check what kind of system Liu Mian is in and whether he can secure the throne."

Thinking of this, Qin Ming assigned another task to Qian Cai.

It just so happened that several of his disciples were there, and they could also help Qin Ming see whether Liu Mian was really capable.

If he is not capable of securing his position, Qin Ming will have to consider other candidates.

However, no matter how much they consider the candidates, Zhuge Yuheng, who is now standing on the opposite side of them, must not be kept.

"understood."

Qian Cai nodded, then turned around and went to the secret guard to give instructions.

On the other side, Liu Chuang's troops soon arrived at the border of the Western Regions, where they bordered Western Shu.

As soon as they arrived here, they hesitated because of a piece of news.

After exploring the various checkpoints ahead of them, they found no signs of any reinforcements.

Originally, there were only a few dozen people at each checkpoint, and it is still the same now.

Even though our army is approaching, the other side is still taking its time. Are they trying to use the empty city strategy?

After hearing what his subordinates said, Liu Chuang frowned immediately.

"Are these people deliberately trying to defraud us?"

"I think it's possible, but the key is that they have been hiding it very well until now."

At this time, several confidants nearby also spoke up.

After fighting against high-level enemies so many times, they developed a habit.

Never take any war lightly and fight with all your might in any battle.

But it was this habit that made them feel that the other side's enemies must have a backup plan, especially since they had not found any traces left by the enemy until now.

Only regular troops are in the border area.

This is obviously not normal.

That means the enemy's methods are much more sophisticated than theirs.

Those of them who were hiding in the dark were not caught by Liu Chuang at all.

"This is really strange. Could it be that Xishu has invited some expert?"

Liu Chuang muttered and went straight to the beach. Before they came here, they had arranged for people to draw all kinds of topographic maps here.

After a careful inspection, Liu Chuang discovered that this was a hilly area and every road was uneven, so it was very likely that there were people hiding there.

"I'll arrange for someone to break in and investigate tomorrow. I don't believe it."

He didn't believe in evil, so he decided to be cautious and arrange for someone to investigate.

If the other party is really that skilled and leaves no trace at all, it means that the other party's level is far beyond one's own.

At that time, Liu Chuang could only dispatch hot air balloons and tank troops.

Just as he was fighting wits and courage with the air.

In the Western Shu Imperial Palace.

A group of officials were already frightened out of their wits as they had received the news of Liu Chuang's arrival long ago.

Liu Chuang and his Huoziying troops are well-known.

Everyone knows that Qin Ming has armed this army with all the most advanced firearms in the entire dynasty.

This also makes their lethality extremely astonishing.

Some people say that only a few dozen soldiers from the Fire Camp are needed.

With sufficient weapons and equipment, you can defend a city of 100,000 people!

Although this statement was a bit exaggerated, they could understand that it was just a way of expressing the combat effectiveness of the Fire Self-Protected Forces.

If they were to actually go onto the battlefield, with their current level of technology and weapons and equipment, they would probably be shattered at the first contact with the enemy.

The officials were extremely frightened.

Invite Zhuge Yuheng and Liu Mian over, hoping they can find a solution.

After all, the troops that Zhuge Yuheng said he would assemble have not been successfully assembled so far.
